In the Senate, after the presenta? tion and disposition of some mis? cellaneous business, the reconstruc? tion question was resumed. Watson favored the bill, and said that during his thirteen years Senatorship, he bad listened to a great many speeches ; he hod heard the domineering Davis, the blustering Toombs, the plausible Mason, the wiley Slidell, but ho had never listened to n more wicked speech than that delivered by Mr. Doolittle, on Thursday last Mr. Johnson followed, with a powerful constitutional argument against the bill. Adjourned. Internal revenue receipts to-day ?728,000.

CHARLESTON, January 27.-The Convention, to-day, was engaged in tho, consideration of tho report of the Financo Committee, which re? commends levying a special tax, to defray the expenses of the Conven? tion and preserve the credit of the State. The Committee recommends that the pay of the members bc nine dollars a day, und twenty cents mile? age, payable in ?>i?I? receivable O? the State. Considerable excitement fol? lowed the adjournment of tho Con? vention, growing out of an assault upon tho reporter of tho Mercury, by a son of Collector Mackey, President of tho Convention, on account of an abusive article in to-day's Mercury. RALEIOH, January 27.-Tho Con? vention, as Committee of tho Whole, occupied most of to-day in discussing tho report of tho Committoo on a Governor aud other necessary State Esaoutivo Officers, without coming to any definite conclusion.

THE UNCHANGEABLE LAND.-In the East, things do not change. As Abra? ham pitched his tent in Bethel, so does on Arab Sheik now set np his camp; as David bnilt his palace on Mount Sion, so would a Turkish Pasha now arrange his house. In every street may be seen the hairy children of Esau, squatting on the ground, devouring a mess of lentils like that for which the rough hunter sold his birth-right. Along every road plod the sons of Ruchel, whose fathers, thousands of years ago, bound themselves and theirs to drink no wine, plant no tree, enter within no door, and their children hove kept the oath; and at every khan are young men around the pan of parch? ed corn, dipping their morsel into the dish. Job's plow is still used, and the seed is still trodden into the ground by asses and kine. Olives are shaken from the bough as directed by Isaiah, and the grafting of trees is unchanged since the days of Saul. The Synau house is still, as formerly, only a stone tent, as a temple was but a marble tent. What is seen now in Bethany may be taken as tho exaot house of Lazarus, whore Mary listened and Martha toiled, or as tho house of Simon, tho leper, where the box of precious ointment was broken, and whenco Judas set out to betray his master. THE WINTER IN ITALY.-Tho Flor? ence correspondent of tho Paris Temps, writing on tho 3d, says: "For two days we havo received no mail from Paris. Tho railways aro interrupted by the snow. lu Flor? ence, it has snowed as it only snows two or three times in a century. Men of forty had never seen anything like it. Nearly a foot of snow! Half the oity remained within doors. CftbS and OII??l?jiin?B liilVO loft OH running. Nearly all tho shops re? mained closed throughout tho whole of the 2d. Many of tho Govern? ment clerks were absent. lu fine, this innocent climate has boen turned topsy-turvy." Brevet Major-General Gilmore, of "Swamp Angel" notoriety, is now on a tour of inspection though the Military Districts of the South. Ho arrived in Charleston on Sunday, . and is o gue?t ut tho Mills nouse. AM ITEM YOB BAOHXLOBS.-A judi? cious wife is always chipping off from, her husband's moral nature little twigs that ure growing in wrong directions. She keeps him in shape i by continual pruning. If you say anything silly, She -will t.ffeotionately ten vnn no. If yo" dccl?x o kimi yoti will "do some absurd thing, she will find means of preventing your doing it. And by far the ehief part of all the common sense' there is in this world belongs unquestionably to wo? man. The wisest things a man com? monly doe? are those which his wife counsels him to. do. A wife is the grand wielder of the moral pruning knife. If Johnson's wife had lived, there .would have beeu no boarding np of orange peel-no touching all the posts in walking along the streets -no eating and drinking with a dis? gusting voracity. If Oliver Gold? smith had been married, he would never bave worn that memorable and ridiculous coat. Whenever you find a man whom yon know little about, oddly dressed, or talking absurdly, or exhibiting any eccentricity of manner, you may be tolerably sure that he is not a married man; for the corners are rounded off, the little shoots are pruned away in married men. Wives generally have untch moro sense than their husbands especially when thejr husbands aro clever mon. The wife's advices aro like the ballast that keeps the ship steady; they are the wholesome, though painful, shears, clipping off little growths of self-conceit. As OOR MOTHERS DO.-We wore amused, -the other evening, CA three little girls playing among tho sago brush in a back yard. Two of them were "making bolievo keep house," a few yards distance from eaoh other neighbors as it were. One of them says to tho third little girl: "There, now, Nelly, you go to Surah's house, and stop a little while and talk, and then you come back and tell mo what she say.? about me; and then I'll talk about ho. ; then you go and tell her all I say, and then we'll get mad and don't Rpeak to each other; just like our mothers do, you know. O! that'll be such fun." WHAT DID HE WANT?-"Madam," said a baro-footed tar-heel, stumbling np to the door of a farm-house near Winchester, where a lady was stand? ing looking at the troops marching past-"Madam, can't you tell a poor soldier whar he kin git a par o' shoes? fur I'm so hougry fur a little drap o' brandy, I aint got no blankit an' dunno whar Fm a gwine ter sleep to-night out in tho woods some whar. " She gave him some food and a bed-the other matters she did not have; but told me two years after? wards, that she had never boen able to decide what tho man asked for. A waggish journalist, who is often merry over his personal plainness, tells this story of himself: "I went to a chemist the other day for a dose of morphine for a sick friend. The assistant objected to give it to me without a presoiption, evidently fear? ing that I intended suicide. 'Pshaw !' said I, 'do I look like a man who would kill himself?' Gazing steadi Sr at me a moment, he replied, 'I on't know. It seems to me, if I looked Uke you, I should be greatly tempted to kill,mysolf. ' " A country editor, describing the bonnets now in fashion, says "they have a downward slant, that reminds one of a vicious cow with a board across her eyes." MARRIED.

There is a certain portion of the war that will never go into the regular histo? ries, nor be embodied in romance or poetry, which is a very real part of it, and will, if preserved, convoy to succeeding generations a better idea of the spirit of tho conflict than many dry reports or care? ful narratives of events, and ibis part may be oallod the gossip, tho fun, the pathos of tho war. This illustrates the character of the leaders, the humor of tho soldiers, tho devotion of women, tho bravery of men, thc pluck of our heroes, the romaneo and hardships of the service. The valiant and bravo bea. ted, tho pic? turesque and dramatic, tho witty and mar? velous, tho tender and pathetic, and the tv bolo panorama of tho war, are hero thrillingly portrayed in a masterly man? ner, at once historical and romantio, ren doriug it tho most ample, unique, brilliant and readable book that the war has called forth.
